News is scarce and Items are hard 10
find.
We had the pleasure of few minutes
conversation with Mr.. j. P. Riley as be
passed on his way to visit friends and rel
atives in the County. Mr.. Riley was
raised in Anderson County, but has
adopted Florida as his home. He is en-
gagged in business in Leesburg, and is
looking like the climate is congenial to his
health.
Mrs. Caroline Lindsay, formerly of this
County but now of Jackson County, Ca,
is paying her annual visit to her numer-
GUS relatives and friends in Anderson
County.
We are glad to learn that Mr.. Mat. Nor
ris, who has been quite sick for some time
past, has so far recovered as to be able to
be about to limited extent again. We
hope for his entire recovery soon.

Capt. Billy Smith gets keg full every

At the solicitations of different parties,
Mr.. S. L. Eskew, who ownes land on both
sides of the railroad, has consented to
have lots laid out for sale; consequently
Mr.. J. c. Watkins, surveyor, was down
recently and laid off some very desirable
lots.
Speculation is rife as to whether the
new road law will be enforced to the letter
as regards width and time of working.
Numbers of roads in the County are so
narrow as to prevent vehicles passing
each other without going outside the road.
One great drawback to good roads Is care
less and incompetent overseers, who take
no pride in their road, and whose aim is
to "put in time," regardless of how the
road looks or lasts after they are clear of
it. bitches should be made straight
where practicable, or, if necessary to
make ditch otherwise than straight, the
curves should be graded, and no short
zig-zag turns allowed. Some bitches in the
County are as crooked and uncertain as
pig tracks in snow. JAY.

Georgia Thieves.

Monday morning about 10 o'clock two
negro men drove up to the G. & G. depot
with bale of cotton on one-horse
wagon. They at once unloaded the cotton
to the platform. Mr.. f. G. Brown, one Of
Bleckley, Brown G. Fretwell's statesmen,
was engaged in marking cotton near by.
One of the negroes approached Mr.. Brown
and asked him if he would buy the cot
ton. Mr.. Brown replied that he would,
and made bid on the cotton, and to his
astonishment the negro told him he could
have it. This action on the part of the
negro at once aroused Mr.. Browns suspi-
cions, and he began questioning him as to
where be lived, if the cotton belonged to
him, etc. The negro replied that the cot
ton was his own, that he resided on Mrs.
McGee's plantation in the County, and
that his name was Bill Patterson. The
cotton was weighed, and the negro came
up to the store to get his money. Before
settling with him, Mr.. Brown decided to
make some inquiry about him. In the
meantime the negro seemed very restless,
and was very anxious to get his money
and get off. Mr.. Brown could find out
nothing about him, and upon questioning
him again, the negro stated that the cotton
belonged to some one in Hart County,
Ga, and that he had been sent here to sell
it. Upon hearing this, Mr. Brown was
satisfied that there was something wsong
about the cotton, and he determined to
have both the negroes arrested to await
investigation. Alderman Jones, who was
standing near by, was requested to blow
his police whistle, and as he did so Patter-
sons companion took to his heels and
fled down the street. Patterson also made
an attempt to run, but was captured and
turned over to an officer. An officer and
number of men and boys followed the
fleeing negro, but he succeeded in lodging

An Honest Man.

In 1872, when cotton was worth from IS
to 20 cents per pound, Mr. Jonathan Pick
erel, one of the Forks best citizens,
brought several bales into the city one
day. After trying the market for some
time, he finally sold to that clever old
merchant, Mr.. John B. Watson, who was
then doing business on Granite Row.
The book-keeper made out Mr.. Pickerers
bill, settled with him, and, after buying
what goods he wanted, he left for home.
It was an everyday transaction, and, of
course, nothing more was ever thought of
it. Not long since Mr.. Pickerel had occa-
sion to look through his ''old papers," and
while doing SO, came across the cotton bill
referred to above. The first thing that at
tracted his attention about the bill was the
great difference in the price of cotton then
and now, and while noting what amount
he had received for bale, he discovered
that the beok-keeper had made an error
of $l2.e5 in the calculation. He could not
believe it, and again and again he went
over the calculation, but each time proved
that mistake of $1225 had been made,
and that Mr.. Watson had paid him that
much more than he was entitled to. Mr..
Pickerel is quite an old gentleman, and
does not visit the city often, but he re-
solved the next time he camo here he
would hunt up Mr.. Watson, show him
the error and refund the money to him.
Recently he has visited the city twice to
see Mr.. Watson, but each time he failed to
see him. Last week he again came to the
city, and. going to Mr.. Watson's store, on
Brick Range, found that gentleman,
showed him the error and refunded the
money. Such instances as this are rare,
but to those who know Mr.. Pickerel his
conduct will be no surprise. Such men
are worthy examples to follow.

wife and mother and a kind neighbor,
ever ready to minister unto the wants of
the sick and needy. Her remains were
inferred at Pissah on Saturday.
Mrs. Sarah j. Moorhead departed this
life at the residence of her husband, Mr..
John M. Moorhead, in Centerville Town.
ship, on last Friday night, after an illness
of three weeks from typhoid malarial
fever. She was an energetic, thorough
going and excellent woman, whose death
is loss to the community in which she
lived. Mrs. Moorhead was member of
the Concord Associate Reformed Church
for many years. and was pious and
faithful Christian. Her remains were
inferred in the Concord cemetery on
Saturday, after appropriate funeral SER
vices conducted by Rev. D. E. Frierson,
DID. She leaves husband and three
children, who have the sympathy of
host of friends in their bereavement.
Late Tuesday evening the telegraph
brought the sad news to Anderson that
Mr.. Oscar ]. Moore, eldest son of Maj.
John B. Moore, had died that morning ut
the home Of his parents in Colusa, CAL, Of
typhoid fever. The news was a great
shock to Mr.. Moore's friends in this city,
for he had left here, hale and hearty, on
the 18th of last month, to join his parents
in California. 1t is supposed that he YVES
stricken down with the fever shortly after
his arrival at his new home. Mr.. Moore
was about 27.years Of age, and was anoble,
upright young man. He was born and
reared in Anderson, and since his youth
had been member of the Presby yterian
Church of this city. We and our young
friend were school boys together, and it is
certainly very sad duty for us to chron-
Gle the fact that he has been cut down in
his early manhood, just when life seemed
full of its brightest charms.
Death has again invaded the ranks of
the young men of Anderson, and borne
away another estipoable young man.
Seven or eight weeks ago Mr.. William E.
Mattox was attacked with fever, and he at
once went to the home of his father, Mr..
John P. Mattox, five miles east of the
city. He received every attention that
loving hands and medical skill could
give, but all in vain. He fingered until
II o'clock Tuesday night, when he quietly
passed away. Mr.. Mattox was about Is
years of age. When he was taken sick he
was engaged as salesman in Mr.. d. s.
Taylor's store. He was fine specimen Of
young manhood, and young man of
good habits and pleasant manners. His
death is sad blow 10 his parents, who
have the deepest sympathy of their friends
in their bereavement. His remains were
inferred at Neals Creek Church on
Wednesday afternoon, Rev. W. H. King
conducting the funeral services.
